Anarchist of Noir

Parker appears to have eliminated everything from his program but machine logic. But this is merely protective colouration. He is a romantic vestige, a free market anarchist whose independent status is becoming a thing of the past.

Hardboiled/Noir

'It was one of those hot dry Santa Annas that come down thru the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen. You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge. ............ Red Wind- Raymond Chandler
